There are four players on the wrong teams. THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE. Read a transaction list for christ's sake. There is simply no justifiable reason why rosters shouldn't be 100% accurate on a day all fans expect them to be.

2K Sports now seems to be changing ratings based on Rising Stars game performances. God forbid someone on the Cavaliers besides Kyrie Irving get a player edit either. I'm half surprised that they didn't give him Ankle Breaker signature skill either, but that would have required slighty more effort or ingenuity. We can't have that going around the company!

------------------------------------------------------

Courtney Lee
74 Overall (+2)
57 OffAwr (+5)
81 DefAwr (+11)

I suppose Lee deserved this, but he also deserved many decreases as well, particularly to his 85 3pt rating (35% down from 40%) which is quite overpowered in conjunction with his Spot Up Shooter and Corner Specialist signature skills.

Williams was re-added to the game after being removed when he signed in China. His ratings have dropped since then as 76 Overall was obviously way too high for a guy that couldn't even crack the Detroit Pistons out of training camp. Williams should get the chance of a lifetime on a depleted Celtics squad, but he still has to earn a contract for the rest of the season.

Over Gallinari's last 10 games he is averaging 21.8 points and 6.0 rebounds. However going by Gallinari's season numbers there wasn't much of an incentive to upgrade these. Given that Gallinari was already edited in-depth a few weeks ago, it would be nice if 2K Sports would get around to the HUNDREDS of players who haven't gotten a single update all season.

It has been months since a missing player has been added to the game, and there is no excuse for many of these players to be missing especially at this point in the season.

Patrick Beverley recently tweeted Ronnie Singh (Ronnie2K), asking if he was going to be added to the roster. Ronnie lied to Beverley (or perhaps was misinformed) about being included in the 2/12 update.

Rather than be honest with Beverley, Ronnie instead covered his ass and lied about the reason why Beverley was absent from the 2/12 roster.

@patbev21 was told this morning that you were pulled from update. Sorry dude but I told Insider to prioritize you

Fast-forward three days to the following update, and it's clear Beverley wasn't "pulled" last minute. This was a cop-out by a 2K Sports employee who has no idea what is going on with the actual product, and perfectly illustrates the lack of professionalism that has gone into 2K's rosters over the past decade, and more prominently, the last five.

We have been marketed "Living Rosters", the "NBA Today", and an NBA "Insider" as key features within the game. Yet it's more apparent than ever that 2K simply doesn't take any of this seriously even though the majority of their fanbase does... and it irks me that 2K employees still pretend to treat the Insider as an actual person we can pass information along to. You'd have a better chance convincing me that CORPORATIONS are people, much less the 2K Insider.

INJURED PLAYERS

Danny Granger is back in advance of his return from injury. Granger is expected to return within the next couple days and will immediately make the Pacers an elite online team.

Deron Williams returns from an injury he never should have had in the first place, returning the Nets to online respectability.

HAWKS
Jeff Teague (PG), Kyle Korver (SG), Josh Smith (SF), Al Horford (PF), Zaza Pachulia (C)
Devin Harris has been starting at SG. Anthony Tolliver has recently been starting at PF which has pushed Smith to SF and Kyle Korver to the bench. 2K also has DeShawn Stevenson on the inactive list for no reason whatsoever - Stevenson even started twice this month, and has played 8 times in the past 10 games.

tross got edited too, his 3pt went down to 79 from 82/82, his ft went down to 57 from 77, and his dunk went up to 97 from around 84. his overall went down by 1 pt. too bad they didnt giv him highlight reel sig skill, but as you said, that would require actual ingenuity from 2k.
